The Executive Engineer Public Health has started cleaning the watercourse of Phase 2 after filling the ponds of Phase 1, to store water in the Gandakhel Water Supply Scheme. He said that all available resources are being utilized to store water in the ponds within the given timeframe, which has solved the problem of clean drinking water for the citizens. The cleaning of the watercourse of the Gandakhel Water Supply Scheme has been started, and water supply will be started soon.

He appealed to the public to be patient and assured that the Public Health Engineering Department is taking all necessary measures to address the problems of the people.

He said that the Provincial Minister for Health, Sardar Zada Faisal Khan Jamali, is taking personal interest in ensuring the storage of water in the ponds.
